Memory of Omens

di Lauren Kearns

Memory of Omens reimmagina il mito di Orfeo attraverso uno sguardo femminista, traendo ispirazione dalla poesia di Alda Merini  “La presenza di Orfeo” e da RIVA, un poliedrico progetto artistico promosso dall’Associazione Mus.e e sviluppato da Murate Art District sotto la direzione di Valentina Gensini. Questa performance di danza intreccia sottili movimenti gestuali, complessi pattern spaziali e collaborazioni atletiche, con un video di danza girato sulle rive del fiume Arno e per le strade di Firenze, come Via Dell’Inferno, Via Del Purgatorio e Via Del Limbo. Come il fiume, che nutre e consuma allo stesso tempo, la nostra performance esplora la natura ciclica di vita e morte, luce e buio, caos e calma. Attraverso il potere della creatività e della prospettiva femminile, ci immergiamo nelle fluide dinamiche dell’esistenza, riecheggiando il costante flusso e riflusso che definisce sia il mondo naturale, sia l’esperienza umana.
